[Ynze] has built an audio amplifier that looks and sounds great. His amplifier uses a National Instruments (now TI) LM3886 Overture series 68 Watt power amp. The LM3886 places [Ynze’s] amp squarely in ...

In Seemingly Simple Circuits: Transresistance Amplifier, Part 1– Approximating Op-Amps, the op-amp was approximated from a single-pole, finite gain amplifier to an infinite-gain, single-pole op-amp, ...

The circuit in Figure 1 is suited for inductive sources such as a dynamic microphone, transformer or inductance sensor/pick up. Figure 1 A simple amplifier circuit suited for inductive sources such as ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. In designing an input stage for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), engineers choose a particular amplifier, assign a target gain, and note the ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

The Scandinavian hi-fi company Hegel has been around for over 30 years and is best known for making high-end yet bespoke audio components for serious audiophiles. Its latest integrated amplifier, the ...

If you think most components are too complicated and just want great sound, the no-frills Cambridge AXA35 integrated amplifier is exactly what you’re looking for. Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve ...

Hearing aids are probably more high-tech than you think. They are tiny. They have to go through a lot of trouble to prevent feedback. They need a long battery life. The good ones match their ...
